5 ways to beat a New Jersey traffic ticket

Author: admin  //  Category: Fighting a Traffic Ticket, NJ Traffic Laws, Speeding Tickets, Traffic Tickets

1. Be nice to the police officer: Be nice to the officer… but don’t forget to argue, respectfully, when you know you’re right or if there is a legitimate reason or cause for the violation, such as avoiding an accident or not being able to see the light change ahead due to a large vehicle in front of you.  Police organization support stickers and cards help too.

2. Just Admit It: Admit what you did wrong if you’re the guilty party. For example,  if there is a family emergency and you are hurrying to get home, tell the officer – he/she may let you off and try to be helpful in the process.  But be honest.

Sometimes that won’t work, and you’ll find yourself in court anyway. If that’s the case…

3. Come prepared with evidence: One person got his ticket dropped thanks to proof shown on Google Maps; if traffic signs were obscured or damaged, your ticket might get dropped as well.

4. Talk to the prosecutor before court is in session: If you’re willing, you might be able to strike a deal where you can pay the fine without getting the points. You win some, you lose some.  You can also get a good attorney to fight for you.

5. Don’t violate any traffic laws in the first place and be familiar with NJ traffic laws.

And of course avoid the easy to get violations – not wearing your seat belt, talking on the phone, keep your car’s inspection and registration up to date.
